Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches 

Installation and User Guide (06/03) 

„  100Mb switching services for large, high performance Ethernet LANs 

Magnum Quad-Series Switches provide Fast Ethernet switching on all 

ports.  They perform high speed filter/forward operations on the traffic, 

giving each port’s segment a full 100Mb (or 10 Mb) of bandwidth.  

„  Configurable with fiber ports, all connector types and speeds 

 

Quad-port modules are available with 100Mb mm ST, SC, VF-45, MTRJ 

single-mode SC, and 10 Mb ST-type connectors.  The configuration of the 

fiber ports, in the factory or in the field, allows the Quad-Series Switches 

to adapt to mixed and changing fiber types in any application. 

 

„  Configurable with RJ-45 (copper) ports, 10/100 auto-negotiation 

RJ-45 Quad-port modules provide twisted pair segment connections, with 

N-way auto-negotiation or with manual speed and mode settings per port 

„  Mixed-media configurations for maximum flexibility 

Combinations of port module types can be configured in the same unit, 

adapting the Quad-Series Switches to varying quantities and types of fiber 

vs. copper media. Port module changes can even be done in the field. 

„  Full-duplex or Half-duplex operation, auto-sensing 

 

All fiber and RJ-45 (copper) ports are capable of half- or full-duplex, 

individually selected.  All RJ-45 ports support 10/100 auto-negotiation, or 

can be user-selected for the desired operating mode and speed.  

„  16-port, 12-port, 8-port and 4-port models  

 

With two chassis sizes (16-port and 8-port) configurable with 4-port 

QPMs, capacity options complement the mixed-media configurability. 

„  Plug-and-Play installation for high performance switching 

 

 

Magnum Quad-Series Switches are self-learning for node addresses. They 

 

 

can be placed into operation without complex set-up procedures, even in  

 

 

large networks.  They operate transparent to system software. 

 

„  Front-mounted LEDs, world-wide AC power supply 

Front panel LED’s on each quad-port module display the status of each  

 

 

port for easy monitoring.  An internal auto-ranging AC power supply  

 

 

allows any Magnum Quad-Series Switches to be used throughout the  

 

 

world. (A 48VDC power supply is optional, see Appendix B).\
